    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    IT WAS REPORTED VIA JOURNAL ARTICLE: "TITLE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF LAPAROSCOPIC SACROCOLPOPEXY AND TOTAL VAGINAL MESH PROCEDURE USING LIGHTWEIGHT POLYPROPYLENE MESHES FOR PROLAPSE REPAIR". AUTHORS: CHIH-KU LIU, CHING-PEI TSAI, MIN-MIN CHOU, PAO-SHENG SHEN, GIN-DEN CHEN, YAO-CHING HUNG, MAN-JUNG HUNG. CITATION: TAIWANESE JOURNAL OF OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY. 2014; 53: 552 558. THE USE OF VAGINAL MESHES FOR TREATMENT OF PELVIC ORGAN PROLAPSE (POP) REMAINS CONTROVERSIAL. A TREND TOWARD ABDOMINAL APPROACHES AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW MESHES HAS BEEN NOTED. THE AUTHORS COMPARED THE 1-YEAR RESULTS OF TWO DIFFERENT APPROACHES USING NEW LIGHTWEIGHT MESHES. A TOTAL OF 69 PATIENTS WITH POP STAGE = 2 WHO UNDERWENT LAPAROSCOPIC SACROCOLPOPEXY (LSC; N-39; AGE RANGE: 33 TO 65 YEARS OLD; BMI: 17.4 29.9) OR A TOTAL VAGINAL MESH (TVM) PROCEDURE (N-30; AGE RANGE: 45 TO 78 YEARS OLD; BMI: 18.9 32.0) USING LIGHTWEIGHT POLYPROPYLENE MESHES WERE STUDIED. DURING THE SURGICAL PROCEDURE IN TVM, THE PARTIALLY ABSORBABLE PROLIFT + M POLYPROPYLENE MESH (ETHICON) WAS USED. CONCOMITANT SURGERIES WERE PERFORMED AS INDICATED; IN THE LSC GROUP, A TVT-O (ETHICON) MID-URETHRAL SLING WAS PERFORMED IN 14 PATIENTS. IN THE TVM GROUP, TVT-O (ETHICON) MID-URETHRAL SLING WAS PERFORMED IN 10 PATIENTS. IN THE LSC GROUP, REPORTED COMPLICATIONS INCLUDED PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE (N-1), DELAYED FREE VOIDING (N-1), DE NOVO STRESS INCONTINENCE (N-1), DE NOVO URGENCY INCONTINENCE (N-2), CASE 1, A (B)(6) PATIENT WITH ANATOMIC RECURRENCE WHICH REQUIRED OBSERVATION, CASE 2, A (B)(6) PATIENT WITH ANATOMIC RECURRENCE WHICH REQUIRED OBSERVATION, CASE 3, A (B)(6) PATIENT WITH ANATOMIC RECURRENCE WHICH REQUIRED OBSERVATION, CASE 4, A (B)(6) PATIENT WITH ANATOMIC RECURRENCE WHICH REQUIRED OBSERVATION, CASE 5, A (B)(6) PATIENT WITH ANATOMIC RECURRENCE WHICH REQUIRED OBSERVATION, AND CASE 6, A (B)(6) PATIENT WITH ANATOMIC RECURRENCE WHICH REQUIRED OBSERVATION. IN THE TVM GROUP, REPORTED COMPLICATIONS INCLUDED BLOOD LOSS (N-1) WHICH REQUIRED PERIOPERATIVE BLOOD TRANSFUSION, DELAYED FREE VOIDING (N-1), DE NOVO STRESS INCONTINENCE (N-4), DE NOVO URGENCY INCONTINENCE (N-1), VAGINAL MESH EXTRUSION CONCOMITANTLY WITH A STAGE 2 RECURRENT UTERINE PROLAPSE (N-1) WHICH REQUIRED SIMPLE MESH EXCISION AND A VAGINAL TRACHELECTOMY, CASE 7, A (B)(6) PATIENT WITH ANATOMIC RECURRENCE WHICH REQUIRED TRACHELECTOMY, CASE 8, A (B)(6) PATIENT WITH ANATOMIC RECURRENCE WHICH REQUIRED TRACHELECTOMY, CASE 9, A (B)(6) PATIENT WITH ANATOMIC RECURRENCE WHICH REQUIRED TRACHELECTOMY, AND CASE 10, A (B)(6) PATIENT WITH ANATOMIC RECURRENCE WHICH REQUIRED LSC PROCEDURE. IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE STUDY RESULTS SUGGESTED THE NEW LIGHTWEIGHT POLYPROPYLENE MESHES WERE SAFE FOR USE IN LSC AND TVM AND RESULTED IN FAVORABLE AND COMPARABLE ANATOMIC AND FUNCTIONAL OUTCOMES. THE LIMITATION IN TREATING SELECTIVE VAGINAL DEFECTS WITH EACH PROCEDURE, NOTED IN THIS STUDY, INDICATES THE IMPORTANCE OF INDIVIDUALIZED TREATMENT. THE INFORMATION OBTAINED MAY BE BENEFICIAL IN CLINICAL COUNSELING FOR MESH-AUGMENTED POP REPAIR.
